MEP Strategic Plan
MISSION
To enhance the productivity and technological
performance of U.S. manufacturing.
PROGRAMMATIC STRENGTHS :
•
•
ROLE
MEP ‘s state and regional centers facilitate and
accelerate the transfer of manufacturing
technology in partnership with industry,
universities and educational institutions, state
governments, and NIST and other federal
research laboratories and agencies.
•
•
•
•
National program with at least one
center in every state and Puerto Rico.
Federal/state, public-private partnership
with local flexibility.
Cost share policy that matches federal
investment with state and private sector
investment.
Market driven program that responds to
the needs of private sector
manufacturers.
Leverage partnering expertise as a
strategic advantage.
Local knowledge of, focus on, and
access to manufacturers.

MEP State Competition –
What and Why?
• The program is undergoing a multi-year effort to conduct a full
and open competition for MEP centers older than 10 years.
• Objective is to optimize the federal investment and allocate
additional funds to areas with higher concentration of
manufacturers.
• Will be able to expand the range of services offered with an
emphasis on very small, rural and start-up manufacturers.
• MEP just announced first 10 award recipients of competition in
Feb 2015. Press release can be found
http://nist.gov/mep/awards-support-manufacturing.cfm
• Second round of the competition for 12 states was announced
March 2015. Proposals are due June 1, 2015.

H.R. 5035 –
NIST Reauthorization Act of 2014
“To reauthorize the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, and for other purposes” passed the House
on July 22, 2014, which provided that if a recipient has
received a Center award for 10 consecutive years, then
the Director shall conduct a competition to select a
Center operator. Current Centers in good standing are
eligible.

Government Accountability Office (March 2014)
• MEP: “Most Federal Spending Directly Supports Work with
Manufacturers, but Distribution Could Be Improved”
• What GAO Recommends:
– “GAO recommends that Commerce’s spending on cooperative
agreement awards be revised to account for variations across
service areas in demand for program services and in MEP
centers’ cost of providing services. Commerce agreed with
GAO’s recommendation.”

The Budget for Fiscal Year 2016
• National Institute of Standards and Technology: Industrial
Technology Services/Hollings Manufacturing Extension
Partnership (MEP)…
– “In FY 2013, MEP began a broad based strategic planning process and
developed an operational reform agenda intended to optimize program
effectiveness, enhance administrative efficiency, and provide greater
financial accountability. In FY 2014, MEP initiated a reform of the national
system of MEP Centers through a carefully planned, systematic, multiyear
series of full and open competitions. These re-competition efforts are
ongoing and will continue in FY 2016.”

6th Pilot Institute Funding Opportunity
Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Innovation Institute
More than $100M federal investment
over five years
Objective
Develop and demonstrate innovative technologies for:
• Ultra high-speed transmission of signals for the
internet and telecommunications
• New high-performance information-processing
systems and computing
• Sensors and imaging enabling dramatic medical
advances in diagnostics, treatment, and gene
sequencing
Reprinted with permission from Intel Corp
This Institute will focus on developing
an end-to-end photonics ‘ecosystem’
in the U.S., including domestic foundry
access, integrated design tools,
automated packaging, assembly and
test, and workforce development.
All these developments will
require cross-cutting
disciplines of design,
manufacturing, packaging,
reliability and testing.
The President’s Vision – Network of 45 Institutes
“In my State of the Union Address, I asked
Congress to build on a successful pilot
program and create 15 manufacturing
innovation institutes that connect
businesses, universities, and federal agencies
to turn communities left behind by global
competition into global centers of high-tech
jobs.
“Today, I’m asking Congress to build on the
bipartisan support for this idea and triple
that number to 45 – creating a network of
these hubs and guaranteeing that the next
revolution in manufacturing is ‘Made in
America.’”

RAMI and Commerce/NIST
Call to Action: RAMI calls upon the U.S. Secretary of
Commerce and NIST to establish:
1. The “Network for Manufacturing Innovation Program”
(Network function) - to convene and support a network of
Institutes
2. New “Centers for Manufacturing Innovation” (Institutes) using an open topic, open competition process
3. The National Program Office at NIST - to oversee and carry
out the program (coordination, network support, and
reporting)
MEP and NNMI IMIs
 Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act of
2014 / Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations
Act, 2015, pg 241:
 “The Secretary shall ensure that the National Program
Office incorporates the Hollings Manufacturing Extension
Partnership into Program planning to ensure that the
results of the Program reach small and medium-sized
entities.”
 AMP 2.0 Report called for major MEP role, including:
 Support for MEP as an intermediary to help small-to-midsize manufacturers
leverage manufacturing technologies; & to assist small-to-midsize
manufacturers with market entry support and scale-up
 Support to ensure that the MEP becomes a major “tool in the NNMI
toolbox”

NNMI FY 2016 Budget Request
 Continues operations for previously funded institutes.
 Through FY 2015, funding was provided to DOE and DOD to initiate nine
institutes.
 Requests over $350 million for seven new institutes.
 Funds are requested in the discretionary budgets of DOD (1), DOE (2), USDA
(2), and DOC (2).
 Includes a mandatory proposal to build out the full Network of 45
institutes over ten years
 $1.9B mandatory request with spending beginning in FY2017
 For DOC specifically, the Budget proposes $150M for two NNMI
Institutes on industry-proposed technologies and NNMI Network
coordination
NIST FY16 Plans
 Conduct open competitions for two DOC-funded
institutes on industry-proposed topics ($140M)
 To be awarded in CY 2016 through cooperative
agreements
 Two institutes each with $70M in federal funding
matched by $70M or more in private funding
 Winning public-private consortia would bring together
leading manufacturers, universities, and workforce
non-profits
 Technology topics chosen by industry
 Support the Network of Institutes ($10M)
 Working with DOD, DOE, NASA, and NSF, convene and
support the network of institutes to ensure sharing of
best practices
 Facilitate stakeholder access nationwide across
institutes
 Create long-term public-private governance structure
and reporting mechanisms
Transform
innovative
technology into

capability
NNMI Hill Day September 18, 2014
Industry-proposed Institutes at NIST
•
NIST institutes can address manufacturing “white space” technologies
proposed by industry that cannot currently be covered by other USG
missions
 NIST issued RFI soliciting private sector input that generated 135
topics, many of which were outside of the energy and defense sectors
 Key focus of the NNMI from its conception was the critical linkage
between Innovation and Manufacturing.
 NIST is the only Federal Agency focused solely on supporting
technological innovation across the board
 NIST support for manufacturing cuts across all NIST programs (Labs, MEP,
AMTech, BPEP, AMNPO)
 Critical mass of technical expertise
 Non regulatory
 Mission is industry focused (not tied to a USG need)
 Works effectively in partnership with industry, academia, and other
organizations.
